From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Obama, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama's academic history goes like this:
-Elementary school: high grades, skipped second grade, put into gifted-students classes.
-High school: honor roll all years, AP classes, salutatorian.
-Undergrad: Princeton, major in sociology with a minor in African American studies with honors, senior thesis entitled Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community (obviously relevant to her own life experience).
-Grad School: Harvard Law, JD; worked with the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau providing legal assistance to low-income clients.
So Michelle Obama's academic credentials are just about as impressive as her husband's, although they trained for and practiced different sorts of law. Barack Obama's education focused on political science and constitutional law, appropriate for his choice of career, while Michelle Obama's focus was more on court law and real estate cases.
She is a quite intelligent and well-educated woman, and to all appearances the equal of her husband.

Also: "dumb-as-fuck Princeton" is an oxymoron. It's a very good school, although perhaps with a bit too much conspicuous consumption.
